I like the little laptop sleeve thing.

The "log mod" wouldn't exactly be the most LAN party friendly case to 
have. And if you had an electric fire, that thing could burn for a 
couple of hours. :)

Dell is selling their little Studio pc with an optional Bamboo sleeve, 
for an extra $150.

I might consider getting one of them, if there were another video option 
besides the integrated Intel chip... and it is a bit pricey, starting at 
$500 for what is essentially a laptop, with no screen, battery or keyboard.
